I have been impressed with the interest my posting has generated. I didn't even realize there were so many folks on this list. The cookbook had no surname index, so I have begun to create one. I hope to have it completed by tomorrow night and I will post it here. Cheryl can take it for the USGENWEB site if she feels it is deserving. I have decided that I will be donating the cookbook to the Stockton Library or Elizabeth Historical Society. The folks in Stockton have been very helpful in the past, so it would be a way to show my appreciation. However, I would also like to see it stay in Elizabeth, but I know next to nothing about their Society. In any case, which ever gets the original, I will provide the other a photocopy. I will also send a photocopy to Galena (and, of course, keep a copy for me).
